Default Long time no see!

Hello All,

I was looking into a disco 1 or 2 back in 2016, but then my wife and I got pregnant shortly after, so naturally the truck went out the window.

I am now back into a spot where I am looking again, and I could use some help. I am looking at a few but am really considering this one.

https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/...030158320.html

What are the first thoughts? What should I be looking for in this truck as he did use it as it was meant to be?

thanks in advance for the help and Sorry if the was the wrong spot to post this.

It sounds like a good deal to me. No rust and a newer motor with no ailments. 7 seats. Go drive it and see. Check oil and smell exhaust for coolant issues.

Bring a fault code reader/diagnostic tester so you can check for any faults.
If the Disco does have fault codes you can renegotiate a lower price.

yeah I was kinda concerned about the rebuilt title as well. It’s a long drive for me to look at which is why I was hoping to get some help from the guys on here.

Thanks for the advice everyone I really appreciate it.

I have reached out a few times with nothing heard back. So I guess it’s back on the hunt.
